They played the triple overtime on Saturday, had one day off, each played last night and now they play again tonight. The Raptors are -2.5 favorites tonight with a total of 210, and the Heat might be choosing to rest players while the Raptors are apparently playing everyone from last night’s game despite the high minutes. It\u2019s an interesting game for sure, but we aren\u2019t looking for interesting, we\u2019re looking for profitability.<\/p>\n Heat Resting Up?<\/h3>\nButler, Lowry, Tucker, and Morris are questionable for tonight and last night we saw what happens when they don\u2019t play as Boston man handled them. They lost by 30 and it could\u2019ve been worse if Strus didn\u2019t have a big day from three pointers.<\/p>\n I can\u2019t read into against the spread or Totals trends with this team as this team tonight and the back to back throws it all off. The best thing to do with the Heat is wait until tonight when lineups are finalized.<\/p>\n Raptors Playing Big Minutes<\/h3>\nThe Raptors are pretty set on their rotation obviously as they had the triple overtime game and still played everyone huge minutes in a win against Atlanta last night, and as of now those guys are all going to play tonight.<\/p>\n Toronto is only playing nine guys a game and the bench players aren\u2019t playing a lot of minutes. The Raptors have won their last two second games of back to back situations, and going back and looking at them they did not rest anyone so it appears we can expect a full roster.<\/p>\n The Raptors are 8-2 against the spread their last 10 and it\u2019s a roll of the dice to bet on this game now. If you take Toronto now, and the Heat rest the guys they rested last night you\u2019ve got a fantastic line. If the Heat don\u2019t rest their guys you\u2019ve got a coin flip game.<\/p>\n Miami Heat at Toronto Raptors Prediction<\/h3>\nWait til later today is my best advice. If the Heat announce they\u2019re starting everyone it means they threw away last night’s game to be ready for this game and I would take the Heat to get their revenge.<\/p>\n If Butler sits I would take Toronto to win as they are 25-23 this year and in need of wins, and this would be a great game to steal a win against the #1 team in the East. Be patient with this game, look for updates and if you see this line come off the board or the line suddenly moves it means the books know something.<\/p>\n OFFICIAL PLAY: If Butler and Tucker play I\u2019ll take the Heat ML<\/strong>. If they\u2019re out, take Toronto ML<\/strong>. Be patient and we don\u2019t have clear info, just pass on this game.<\/p>\n \n Tuesday on WagerTalk TV: |
